Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

The only genuine feeling that I took from this disappointing, mostly listless movie is the Batman vs Superman faceoff. There is something of a childhood dream moment in that. It is an emotion as quaint as riding your first toy train in adulthood, with a kiddish relish filling you up like a cool breeze, making it a strange time-travel of sorts. But that is just about it for a Zack Snyder film propped up by its special effects, boring characterizations, contrived story, 0.00001% humour and about five minutes of impressive fight scenes in a crawling 153-min running time.Considering the potential or otherwise, this is a mega letdown.

I mean, if you buy two plastic Superman & Batman action figures and bang them against each other, you should get more entertainment than this film brings to the mix.
